The feeling of being off was gone, she could feel a tug and then things went back to how they should be, power wise. Unfortunately, the damage to her body was done due to growth working her insides over, and she was still left with hardly any life in her. She remains in her position outside in the gardens of Thor 103, leaning against a tree to keep her sitting upright. As day 404 breaks, she can hear life around her going on, and manages a tired smile. She thinks that if maybe she could get someone's attention, they just might notice her, and a healer would actually be able to help her now. She had been too afraid before, what with the powers going absolutely mad, but now...

Well. Maybe things stand a chance of working out.

Her mouth drops open, and she finds her throat incredibly dry and her lips cracked and pained. She just barely manages a few hoarse calls for help, but she realizes that no one is going to hear her over the sounds of the city getting back to normal, and with a soft sigh she resigns herself to shutting her eyes and drifting off.

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out he's in trouble. He's only been back for a few hours. So it's not like he's totally in the dog house. Not yet.]

Yeah, I went off the grid for a while. Full on native. I'm glad you're still in one piece. Sorry I didn't check in.

[bossily]

You don't have to check in.

[It comes out clipped, as if she's insisting upon it.]

Just a hello there every now and then would be nice. Or maybe an explanation on how the going off the grid went. That might be nice too.

[mulletrock]

How would I know how it went? I wasn't really there the whole time. If you know what I mean.

[She really was like that irritating cousin he couldn't get rid of. Never having had much experience with cousins that was positive Dean's not used to this at all.]

I'm sorry for not giving you the update but I've only been back for a little while.

[bossily]

[She relaxes a little after that, shrugging.]

Like I said, I don't expect you to check in. I just like giving you a hard time. And you play right into it, silly boy.

[Grinning, she moves in for a hug. Because that's what she does now. Hug people.]

[mulletrock]

[That gets her a small huff of laughter. Dean probably should've expected that. The hug takes him off guard but it's too easy to melt right into it and instead of saying anything else he wraps his arms around her and focuses on the comfort there instead of all the things that are really bothering him.]

[bossily]

[She gives him a tight squeeze, before pulling out of the hug.]

Were you here when the powers were backfiring on everyone? Or did you literally just show back up?

[mulletrock]

I lucked out and missed the whole thing. Did you make it outta that mess okay?

[That's what he was hoping. Sam and Jesse took the trip out of the war zone, but he heard enough stories to know that a lot of people went through some pretty awful crap.]

[bossily]

I didn't die, at least.

[She thought she was going to. Wished she had. But got to suffer through things instead. She's a little evasive as she moves to lean up against the bartop, offering him a tight lipped smile.]

I'm glad you didn't have to go through any of that. It was horrible.

[mulletrock]

Well, that's something.

[Death wasn't the be all end all here but that didn't mean that the after effects weren't shitty. The last thing he wanted to hear was that she got hurt.]

I'm sorry you had to. From the sounds of things it wasn't easy for anyone.
